Sailing into Scandal - Bound by Silk, Freed by Salt #954039

A wedding dress of silk. A cage of gold. A chance to disappear into the tide.

Evangeline Vance has been a masterpiece of Mayfair society for as long as she can remember. Groomed for an inevitable, loveless marriage to the calculating Lord Julian Westbrooke, her life is a series of cold, unyielding transactions dances, dinners, and dowries all meticulously recorded in the ledgers of the elite. Beneath the surface of her suffocating social standing, Evangeline harbors a desperate secret: a hidden map leading to the wild, uncharted horizon of the sea.

When the charismatic and dangerous Captain Alistair arrives in London with his frigate, the Siren, the impossible suddenly feels inevitable. As the pressure of the impending gala mounts and Julian’s legal trap begins to close, Evangeline is forced to make the ultimate choice between her safety and her soul.

Spanning forty chapters of rising tension, Sailing into Scandal follows Evangeline’s journey from the gilded restraints of the townhouse to the brutal, beautiful freedom of the North Sea. From the tense, atmospheric preparations of her final gala to the daring, rain-soaked escape at the London docks, this is a race against a man who views her as his final, most prized acquisition.

As the Siren raises its sails and leaves the gossip of Mayfair in its wake, Evangeline discovers that while a scandal is written in ink, true freedom is carved into the waves.
Some traps are meant to be broken. Some horizons are waiting to be claimed.
